Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 (20-ounce) cans apple pie filling
Topping
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter, cut into 24 thin slices
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the cake does not stick.
- Construct Base: Pour both cans of apple pie filling evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a juicy and flavorful base layer.
- Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the apple filling. Press it down firmly but gently to help create a compact topping layer.
- Add Butter Slices: Arrange the 24 thin slices of butter evenly across the surface of the cake mix to add richness and help develop a golden crust as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for a few minutes after baking to set before slicing and serving warm. Enjoy the tender fruit topping with the crunchy buttery cake crust.
